Forecasts

Shoreybomba (2/1), Go Johnny Go (2/1), Errol Flynn (11/2), Highwayman Harry (11/2), Royale Jacket (6/1), Lance Alot (12/1), Mastash (22/1), Pompeii Shield (33/1), Arizona Magic (50/1), Tiger's Captain (66/1), Jabberwocky (80/1), Yentyl (100/1), Scott's Guard (100/1), Storm Burst (125/1)

GO JOHNNY GO has scope to do better and seems likely to take the beating. Royale Jacket could provide the main opposition, while Shoreybomba is one to bear in mind as well.
